I know the comment is old but totally agree. Nolan made other popular movies(TDK trilogy, Interestellar and Inception) and sadly The Prestige went under the table. It's kinda weird to say it tho cause it is one of the best movies in the last 20 years and is arguably Nolan's best movie to date. Edit: didnt mention Memento cause I think that one is very underated too.
I used to work at a movie theater, and our nametags had our favorite movie on them. My nametag had the Prestige, and people would constantly come up to me, tell me loved that film, and proceed to explain the plot of the Illusioner
The Prestige is definitely one of my top three favorite Nolan movies and in my opinion a very underrated Nolan movie as well.... And by underrated I mean, in it doesn’t get the same claim or breath as say, Inception, The Dark Knight, Memento, or even Interstellar for that matter. So it’s nice to see video essays even an Earthling Cimema breakdown on a movie like The Prestige so that it can get the recognition that it deserves.
It's also a neat metaphor for practical effects versus CG! Most of Nolan's film are about film on some level. (Interstellar is about the death of film, inception about using it to convey ideas to the audience on a deeper level ect)
Jack Müller I think he means the way in which the characters went about creating their magic tricks. The Bale character used twins, while the Jackman character went on to use a series of clones to make the trick work. The question I’d ask is which one of these is practical effects, and which is cgi? I thought I knew when I first started typing this response, but the more I think about it, I’m not so sure
Yes, the best part of the film is that they outright tell you the answer you're looking for, but you don't want to believe it. Which is Cutter's opening monologue!
It's also the greatest movie of all time. Every scene is so exquisitely crafted to have meaning and continue to dangle the answer right in front of our noses. This movie is the greatest magic trick ever
The last line "no one goes to a donkey show for the previews" is the best ever!! Freakin hilarious!! Love you guys, keep up the amazing "unwavering professionalism" work!!
It's not a click bait, is called "hidden meaning" cause he is an alien from the future investigating human's movies, which is already extinct, he is trying to find the "hidden meaning" for researching purposes like a archeologist.
It varies with the video. In this case the meaning is, yes, pretty obvious and I'm surprised they didn't dig deeper (not that there's necessarily much further to dig).
It's an awesome film. I'm usually a reasonably hard viewer to fool. Films are easily predictable to me. Not this one. This one had the structure of a magic trick. Cutter's metaphor works both ways. I got blindsided by the plot so many times that I was completely at its mercy after a while, not even trying to decipher its secrets anymore, just watching in amazement, in a state of perfect and absolute suspension of disbelief. The only problem with the tactic this film uses to make me achieve _viewer's Nirvana_ is that it make's it hard to watch it a second time, just like a magic trick which reveals itself at the end loses its appeal.
I think the rewatch makes it even better. You start to notice things that you didn't notice before. Like the guy that stands up and yells about the Tesla machine in London was the same guy we see at the end, who was working for Edison. Or how when Angier is reading Borden's diary, it starts off talking about how they were two young magicians, just trying to make a name for themselves. It leads you to believe it was Borden and Angier, but it was telling you that Borden had a brother. Such a great film, even with the subsequent viewings.
You guys are AWESOMETACULER!!!!!! Keep up the AWESOMETACULER work!!! Please do: 1) The Princess Bride 2) The Circle 3) Ghosybusters 4) Star Wars 1,2,3,7 5) The Martin 6) Star Trek 1,2,3 7) Independence Day 1 and 2 8) Skyfall 9) Lord of the rings 1,2,3 10) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2!!!!!!
The last episode of Earthling Cinema was a month ago. Yet you start this video saying that "this week's artifact.." So I want to see the missing week's episodes. Please kindly upload them. Best regards with kissess...
Punisher season 1. I'm a vet, so my perception should be biased, but it seems like a lot of the initial discussion of the show (which is all I've gotten through so far) focuses on survival and how coping with the rush of NEEDING to survive (Russo's best night of his life) and the standard civilian lifestyle where we go most of our lives without ever questioning "Will I be alive tomorrow?" I'm uncertain how long the show maintains this perspective, or even if I'm just projecting, but it does feel like a lot of the characters are telling themselves "I (hate/love) the reality that I (need/escaped) an enemy constantly threatening my life."
Okay, hear me out - the cloning device NEVER worked. Let me explain why. 1. Borden sent Angier over to Tesla literally just to screw with him. The likelihood that Borden would have actually sent him to a guy who can make him a cloning machine on accident is VERY unlikely. 2. We only know everything that “happened” when Angier was with Tesla because Borden reads it from Angiers book. Therefor basically that entire portion of the movie is told by an unreliable narrator. That extends further to pretty much every scene where we see “evidence” of the machine working including the first time he used it when he shot the double. None of it ever happened. 2. To believe this you have to believe that Angier used the actor double the entire time, and that ultimately the actor was the one who drowned in the tank. This would be possible because at that point in the plot Angier is wealthy and can pay the actor enough to keep him in line. Furthermore, if he knows that he’s sacrificing himself every night, why would he start freaking out once he gets dropped in the tank and not just accept death? 3. In the scene when Borden shoots Angier in the warehouse, you only ever see one tank with one person in it - probably the actor. The rest of the tanks are probably empty and are the tanks that you see being carried out of the theater earlier in the movie. 4. The blind stage hands aren’t blind so that they don’t see Angier die. They’re blind not deaf, so if Angier freaked out every night when he was dropped into the tank they would know that something was wrong. They’re blind so that when Angier eventually frames Borden, they would also assume that Borden committed the murder. I’m probably forgetting some evidence but that’s the big stuff.
Will Peterson 1. If he only killed one body double, why would he have them move the tank every night? 2. Right before he dies, he try's to show Alfred the tank he's next to, to demonstrate that there's a clone in it, but the one we see on camera is a different tank. Why would he want to show an empty tank? 3. If he really did just use a double, then he must have used and killed at least two. One that Alfred tried to save that ended up in the morgue that he's accused of killing, and one that's still in the tank. Why would he bother killing more than one? The only way I could see this working is if he found 100 lookalikes with acting ability, and killed them every night so they wouldn't get cocky and betray him like the one at the beginning of the movie did. That sounds more absurd than Tesla making a magic box to me though.
The reason he freaks out in the tank is because the machine makes an identical copy. Identical. Meaning the copy doesn't know he's a copy. He thinks he's been transported and the copy was left in his place. This is why just before he shoots himself the copy tries to say that he's the real one. So Angier will do the trick one week, be convinced that he is the real deal and the copy is in the tank but the following week wind up in the tank, obviously shocked, while the new identical copy is still convinced he is real and has been doing the trick every week. Then the next week he ends up in the tank. But the copy always believes he's real and has been doing the trick every week because to him, until he does the trick himself he has all the memories of doing it every time and surviving.
Wayne Conway I wanted to believe "the clone machine was also all just a trick" until your post--it's just to fiendishly horrifying to put out of my mind, like the perfect picture of a new ring in dantes inferno. chilling and brilliant.
AFR0PR1NC3 As far as moving the tank every night, that would go back to the example of the old Asian guy who always pretends to be crippled; he’d move empty tanks just to fool him into thinking that machine works. As far as far as your second and third points, I agree that’s the biggest fault in my argument. The only explanation anyone who agrees with me has come up with is that he went through the trouble of making wax doubles for the tanks. It does sound kind of absurd to me, but then again so does Borden magically/accidentally sending him to a real life closer.
Wayne Conway That makes perfect sense, but unless the blind stage hands are accomplices to murder every show it doesn’t explain why they don’t hear him freaking out and know something is wrong.
The prestige is about... well, the "the prestige." It's about how far we are willing to go to finally take a bow to the validating applause, admiration, envy, and even jealousy. The movie does a very good job by hiding its meaning through the suspencful-thriller-like drama the viewer experiences when watching it. But, it does indeed have a deeper meaning.
Man, I seriously got a lot out of this one. I remember watching the prestige and just being impressed with all the unexpected twists, but it makes an interesting point. One man created real magic, he cloned himself, but it wouldn't sell because it was real.
If your transporter turns into a replicator, (a replicator that doesn't even need raw materials, it makes matter out of nothing) why wouldn't you just replicate a gold brick or a stack of cash?
Angier already had plenty of money- he wasn't doing what he was doing for cash- he first just wanted to perform magic, then his wife died, then he wanted revenge- and then his desire to figure out the best trick ever, and destroy Bordon took over. Nothing else mattered, even his wife's death stopped mattering to him.
Guys! Do a philosophy of Ricky Gervais. The guy is known for having an obnoxious persona on stage which he says is under the guise of irony and satire. He makes fun of celebrity culture when he has now become ingrained into; he tweets about flying on a private jet. From interviews it seems he's actually a bit conflicted on this subject, especially since he grew up and spent his pre-40s on nearly no money. He's known now as a hard worker, but before he wrote the office, he just used his exceptional intelligence to wing it through life at the bare minimum (he never even wrote a CV!). Upon actually trying with the office, he found a tonne of money but was sad that he could not share that wealth with his deceased parents, and that he did not pull his socks up sooner. He was always on top of his class, and he studied philosophy. Do more research and you'll find he's lead an interesting life. It would be great if you could dissect what he's about since you gave Bill Murrey a similar treatment. There's also a tonne of material on his personality on hours of a radio station called XFM that he did which is all over UA-cam.
Interestingly enough, although you could argue that all clones of Angier are the same person, the first time he uses it the one within the machine survives, whereas every night of the trick, it’s the one who teleports away from it. That means that at some point, Angier version 1.0. must have died (if we believe that the teleporter really does work as we think it does and it’s not one of Nolan’s tricks).
There is this cool Australian show called "The Code" with its second season out. It has a very strong commentary on Bureaucracy. If you end up watching it, there is a "Philosophy of" episode there.
I love The Prestige, and feel like it's underrated, especially when talking about Nolan's filmography
Its even better the 2nd time.
Although, it was AWESOME watching the hanging scene for the first time. ABRA CADABRA.
I know the comment is old but totally agree. Nolan made other popular movies(TDK trilogy, Interestellar and Inception) and sadly The Prestige went under the table.
It's kinda weird to say it tho cause it is one of the best movies in the last 20 years and is arguably Nolan's best movie to date.
Edit: didnt mention Memento cause I think that one is very underated too.
@@tarnishedpose Agreed
@@tarnishedpose Yeah, I think Memento and Prestige are some of his best films to date
I used to work at a movie theater, and our nametags had our favorite movie on them. My nametag had the Prestige, and people would constantly come up to me, tell me loved that film, and proceed to explain the plot of the Illusioner
Batman v Wolverine: Dawn of Magic (ft. Black Widow)
Also starring Alfred Pennyworth, Dr. Maya Hansen and Ulysses Klaue
That's legit exactly what I always think of.
The Dark Mutant*
Have you seen the fan made poster of Prestige? It looks like a normal Wolverine but if you look closely there are 2 batmen
Also staring Wonder Woman...’s creator...’s wife.
One of my fave films. Thanks for the hilarious recap.
The Prestige is definitely one of my top three favorite Nolan movies and in my opinion a very underrated Nolan movie as well.... And by underrated I mean, in it doesn’t get the same claim or breath as say, Inception, The Dark Knight, Memento, or even Interstellar for that matter.
So it’s nice to see video essays even an Earthling Cimema breakdown on a movie like The Prestige so that it can get the recognition that it deserves.
Can we get a hidden meaning for the High School Musical series. Obviously the most important films in cinema history
It would probably just go over everyone's head.
YES
Or Beverly hills Chihuahua
THIS GUY GETS IT
God no, hopefully never
The best movie about magic other then Magic Mike
Timothy Coupland magic Mike Xxl ?
Timothy Coupland the illusionist was awesome too
In Nolan we trust!
As an editor the editor joke was very funny
+The Bandog wym
yeah, we also got it
30 Rock delivered it better. ua-cam.com/video/Y0KGSa8SSVo/v-deo.html
Ben Sasser I clapped!! I clapped when I understood that joke!!!!!!!
Thank you for not padding your run times or compromising your shows. Y'all are a great channel, and I always look forward to all your videos.
I don't know why, but this is my favourite film
been waiting so long for this one! definitely my favorite of Nolan's and in my top 10 movies of all time
It's also a neat metaphor for practical effects versus CG! Most of Nolan's film are about film on some level. (Interstellar is about the death of film, inception about using it to convey ideas to the audience on a deeper level ect)
Interesting
elaborate on that a bit please
Jeff Walker I have never thought about it like that , interesting point of view
Jack Müller I think he means the way in which the characters went about creating their magic tricks. The Bale character used twins, while the Jackman character went on to use a series of clones to make the trick work. The question I’d ask is which one of these is practical effects, and which is cgi? I thought I knew when I first started typing this response, but the more I think about it, I’m not so sure
Eduardo Villagomez I would say the clone is cgi and the twin is practical effect
Do a hidden meaning of Reservoir dogs
PHILOSOPHY OF NOLAN PT 3!!! No rush, just a reminder we want it! You guys are the best of the best!!!
Yes, the best part of the film is that they outright tell you the answer you're looking for, but you don't want to believe it. Which is Cutter's opening monologue!
Not enough Batman vs Wolverine jokes.
badman3000 were any at all ?
My favorite movie. It's so brilliant.
How did they not mention Bowie?!
This is one of my favourite movie of all time....
It's also the greatest movie of all time. Every scene is so exquisitely crafted to have meaning and continue to dangle the answer right in front of our noses. This movie is the greatest magic trick ever
Watched this movie last week on Netflix...It broke my mind and filled my heart.
Love this movie
This has to be one of the funniest episodes you ever did. Great job.
This is easily the best series on youtube right now.
The last line "no one goes to a donkey show for the previews" is the best ever!! Freakin hilarious!! Love you guys, keep up the amazing "unwavering professionalism" work!!
I realy appreciate the editing in this one.
I just had a friend who never saw this watch it last week... it's one of the movies I actively show people... this, The Fountain, Children of Men...
huh gaaaaaay...watch 'Zardoz'
Zardoz speeks to yoooou!
I've seen it, ages ago though...
Those are all great movies.
Good to have Garyx back!
This may not be Nolan's best film but it's my favourite film of his
Such an underrated masterpiece
If you didn't find this hidden meaning then you weren't really looking.
Patrick Hogan look well abracadabra
none of these things are actually hidden. the titles are just clickbait
It's not a click bait, is called "hidden meaning" cause he is an alien from the future investigating human's movies, which is already extinct, he is trying to find the "hidden meaning" for researching purposes like a archeologist.
It varies with the video. In this case the meaning is, yes, pretty obvious and I'm surprised they didn't dig deeper (not that there's necessarily much further to dig).
We need more Earthling Cinema, it's the best part of this channel ! :)
Ive waited so long for this. I loved every second! Thanks Mr Wormuloid

It leads you to believe it was Borden and Angier, but it was telling you that Borden had a brother. Such a great film, even with the subsequent viewings.
I disagree. The movie actually gets better and better every time you watch it, because you pick up on details that flesh out the ending.
One of Nolan's best films! Plenty of heavy foreshadowing in the early parts.
I miss Garyx Wormuloid already 🙂
for some reason i thought that this video already existed, and that i already watched
GOGOgomes yeah me too
You are both actually from on other dimension in which wisecrack had already made this video
That explains it Eli.
Me too! Mandela effect
i think they talked about it in the nolan video
Never clicked on a Wisecrack video faster
WTF THATS PERFECT I WATCHED IT YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME XD
This review wasn't what I was expecting... it was so much better!
I just rewatch this movie recently. Pretty cool this video came out.
you mean rewatch?
No He means rematch, fight that movie!
unwavering professionalism
The really fun part is that The Prestige movie isn't actually a 3 act film, it has a 4th act.
You guys are AWESOMETACULER!!!!!! Keep up the AWESOMETACULER work!!!

WOOO! Finally! :D amazing video, thanks guys!
Holy shit you actually made one about Prestige. Idk if you saw my comment or not but you are awesome.
That was Ticketyboo!! Cheers, and Bravo Mate!!

The editing gag was the best meta joke I’ve ever seen👏🏾👏🏾
you're editors are awesome!!! 😎 😂
Unwavering perfectionism
That edit. I spilled my coffee
All of Nolans films feels like a long montage. The narrative kinda floats from scene to scene.
"Biggest Hippo on campus": I LOST IT! :D
Yes, I'm a doctor and, apparently, a bigger nerd than I thought :)
Underrated masterpiece

Great one!!! You should do The Room tough
Hidden meaning is my favorite Cracked series!!! Looking forward to future artifacts’ meanings!
could you guys do the good the bad and the ugly
One of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you lol
awesome job, again.
Love the cheeky Michael Caine impressions
ahhh back in the day when Nolan's movies were actually great :)
Max Power exactly unlike dunkirk
The prestige is about... well, the "the prestige." It's about how far we are willing to go to finally take a bow to the validating applause, admiration, envy, and even jealousy. The movie does a very good job by hiding its meaning through the suspencful-thriller-like drama the viewer experiences when watching it. But, it does indeed have a deeper meaning.
Finally! Please jared give the episodes to garyx. Youre okay but garyx is life
Man, I seriously got a lot out of this one. I remember watching the prestige and just being impressed with all the unexpected twists, but it makes an interesting point. One man created real magic, he cloned himself, but it wouldn't sell because it was real.
No there werent clones. Angier was the Lords double. Tesla did not do experiements to make clones in real life.
We missed you so much Mr Romuloid!
4:16 ....never wavering in that professionalism
Hidden Meaning in YOUR NAME, (or any Makoto Shinkai anime film) make it happen Earthling Cinema (and Garyx Wormuloid!)
His only good film was a Ghibli ripoff lol
Woah, egdelord here, dictating what's good and what's not LMAFO
lain iwakura that was his worst film
One of my favorite movies of all time
If your transporter turns into a replicator, (a replicator that doesn't even need raw materials, it makes matter out of nothing) why wouldn't you just replicate a gold brick or a stack of cash?
Because he wanted to have the best trick in the world, not be rich
And Lord Caldlow (Angier's true identity) was already rich.
Its because Angier and Bordon are Professionals unlike you. A Pro will see the project until it is done completely.
Angier already had plenty of money- he wasn't doing what he was doing for cash- he first just wanted to perform magic, then his wife died, then he wanted revenge- and then his desire to figure out the best trick ever, and destroy Bordon took over.
Nothing else mattered, even his wife's death stopped mattering to him.
Or just use your perfect clone in a normal act.
your editors are fucking awesome
+Ryan's Gameshow! They're alright I guess ;)
Did they tell you to write that? ;)
Omfg I was looking for this movie for years but I couldn't even remember the face of the actors ! Thank you ^^
Also nice video as always.
One of my favourite movies and artists
I totally forgot about this series. We need it back!!!
I think this is the funniest Earthling Cinema episode of them all. Enough said.
everything Nolan does is simply amazing! and this movie just another proof of it even though its not that well known
I am going to like the video before watching it !!!!
invasion of the body snatchers please!!!
Great idea.
Garyx Wormuloid did the same trick my dad did when I was little. I'm still waiting for my dad to reappear
I'm the only one of my friends who likes this movie. I think most of them thought they were going to get a movie where Wolverine fights Batman.
So happy because I just watched this a week ago.
"Because no one goes to a donkey show for the previews" - that was funny
You should do American psycho if you haven’t already
larkin norred I feel like it’s gonna happen next month
Guys! Do a philosophy of Ricky Gervais. The guy is known for having an obnoxious persona on stage which he says is under the guise of irony and satire. He makes fun of celebrity culture when he has now become ingrained into; he tweets about flying on a private jet.

It would be great if you could dissect what he's about since you gave Bill Murrey a similar treatment. There's also a tonne of material on his personality on hours of a radio station called XFM that he did which is all over UA-cam.
Most underrated film of all time
"no one goes to a donkey show for the previews" -New life moto
Please do the Hidden Meaning of Adaptation.
...Or just any Charlie Kaufman movie for that matter.
This movie was great!
Interestingly enough, although you could argue that all clones of Angier are the same person, the first time he uses it the one within the machine survives, whereas every night of the trick, it’s the one who teleports away from it. That means that at some point, Angier version 1.0. must have died (if we believe that the teleporter really does work as we think it does and it’s not one of Nolan’s tricks).
I fucking love these "earthling cinemas."
"Nobody goes to a donkey show for the previews" is my new favorite expression.
I think that "No one goes to a donkey show for the previews" is going to be my new advice to people when they aren't having enough patience.
WoW! You are doing the prestige only NOW😧
1:32 great impression
kkikok he does that for a whole minute at the end of the matrix video
God I love the prestige
There is this cool Australian show called "The Code" with its second season out. It has a very strong commentary on Bureaucracy. If you end up watching it, there is a "Philosophy of" episode there.
